A Premeditated Insult.
Pittsburg Times.

Pittsburg Times.
The Wheeling Grand Army Incl
dent, with which the reader is famil-
lar, was perfectly natural one from
permanent causes, varied only by
some Slight circumstances of the mo-
ment. The meeting of the veterans
in that city was an aniy ersary gath
ering, growing out Of the memories
Of the war. A demagogic editor of a
Coperhead paper printed there, to do
as offensive thing as he could think
of, suspended across one of the streets
through which the veterans would
march banner on which was the
picture of Grover Cleveland, who in
the war was represented by substi-
tute, and whose treatment of pension
bills and the recent rebel flag order
has made him particularly unpopular
with veterans. 1t was meant to be
offensive. and the editor knew it
would be. 1t was a premeditated in
suit.
The meeting had no reference
whatever to the President of the
United States, and there was no &C.
casion for the banner and it would
not have been displayed except for
the antaganism it would create. 1t
was malicious mischief, and so it was
viewed by the veterans, some of
whom resented the act on the spot
by refusing to march under the ban
ner and by others in suitable ways.
What followed, the wrangle be-
tween the Governor of West Virgin
ia and the Governor of Ohio, was the
necessary outcome of the same spirit.
1t had the same significance. The
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic are patriots and gentlemen
both. Those with whom they spec.
tally came in offensive contact at
Wheeling were neither.

the Presidential Office more than the
thousands of Republicans in Wheel

They thought they saw chance to
vaunt themselves as special cham

ty nominate such men and thus gain
a victory.
Among those who have been mem
toned as a desirable County Com
missioner is Mr.. Henry Wheitzell,
of this vicinity. 1 most heartily in
dorse the suggestion and hope that
our people will have the good sense
to nominate him. Mr.. Wheitzell is
well and favorably known through
out the county as man of sterling
Integrity, good sense and ability. and
as a County Commissioner would
serve the people honestly, faithfully
and well.
He is a farmer, ii laborer, and works
much for the interest of the laboring
class though he is lab0rer, yet he
possesses the executive ability and
shrewd perception necessary to make
good commissioner.
Hoping that the Republican party
will work for victory by nominating
able and popular men, such as Mr..
Wheitzell, and thanking you for the
space occupied by this letter,
remain, yours truly,

Whose Fault =?
HOOSIER.

1t is fact that the most successful
affair in the history of Wheeling,
was In its last hours used to provoke
ill-feeling and hard words.
We suppose that every citizen of
Wheeling who values the good name
of the city will agree that whoever is
responsible for this deserves to be re-
buked in way that shall be felt.
We suppose nobody doubts that if
the Cleyeland banner had not been
put out on the line of marcn on
Grand Army day, there would have
been nothing which, by any stretch
of the imagination, could have been
construed as an indignity to the Pres
ident.
The banner was purchased by few
Democratic politicians and hung out
by the Democratic Register in front
of its office. The banner was raised
in the hope of provoking just what
happened. If the men had paid no
attention to the banner there would
have been grieyous disappointment
on the part of the Register and its lit
tie crowd of politicians.
Was there anything in the Presi-
dents official or personal situation
which made it worth while to insist
that the Grand Army men should
march under his personal banner
whether they liked it or notP
Was some kind of a "vindication"
of Mr.. Cleveland thought to be so
sorely needed that Wheeling's guests
for the day-between whom and Mr.
Cleveland there was we'll known to
be serious disagreement-mu be de
Tended?
Was the patriotism of the Grand
Army men so gravely doubted that
it must be tested by the measure of
the Grand Army's admiration for
the personality of Grover Cleveland ?
Was it better tie put up the banner
and make trouble, or allow the most
successful affair in Wheeling's his.

ing Society which Wheeling was en-
tertaining.
The LatelIigencey would be glad to
be able to regard the banner as a
blunder. 1t was more and worse
than that, for it was design planned
and executed with malice.
Those who put up the banner did
not respect the Presidents PERSONAL

When the veterans of the Union
are called in legitimate way to rec
ognize the President. they will re-
spect the President as the Chief Mag
istrate of the nation. When the at
tempt is made to force or trap them
into an apparent endorsement of
Grover Cleveland as a politician they
will resent and resist it. They honor
the Office, as every other citizen does.
They dislike and condemn the man,
as they have right and reason to
do. If their duty to the embodiment
of law and authority is invoked, they
will meet it. If their feeling toward
the individual is challenged, they
will not hesitate to show it. That is
what the demonstration at Wheeling
means, and it is well tor the Presi-
dent and everybody else to under
stand it.-Philddelphid Press.

THE NEW SECRETARY OF THE
TREASURY.

It has taken President CLEVELAND q
long while to name his man for Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, though it is likely be
had made up his mind long ago. Mr..
FAIRcHILD has in fact been the head OF
the Treasury for the past year, Mr.. MAN
MING being unable most Of the time to
discharge his duties. He has the same
financial ideas as Mr.. MANNING and the
work of the Department will 20 on with
out q jar.
CHARLES STEBBINs FARCHILD was
born at Cazenoyia, n. Y, April 80, 1872,
His father was tor many years the attorney
for the New York Central Railroad, and Is
one of the eminent men Of New York.
The new Secretary Of the Treasury re-
eeiyed his early education at the Metho-
dist Seminary at Cazenovia, and he en-
tered Harvard in 1859, graduated from
that institution with the class of 1868.
He then attended the Harvard Law
School. and was admitted to the bar IN
1866, and subsequently became one OF the
firm of HIATT, HALE, SwARTY and FAIR
CHILD. one of the most successful legal
combinations in New York.
In 1874 he WIS appointed Deputy Attor-
ney General and in this, his first political
position, he so distinguished himself that
in the ensuing year he was nominated by
the Democratic Convention for the Attor-
ney Generalship and was elected. He
served in this capacity for two years and
they were eventful ones for the people OF
New York, because the Canal Ring was re-
ceiving the attention of Governor Tilden,
and his Attorney General cordially sec
onded his efforts to rid the State of the
riugsters and their methods.
Upon the expiration of his term of At
torney General Mr.. FAIRCHILD, in 1878,
visited Europe for the second time, his first
trip having occurred in 1871. While on
the Continent the future Secretary made
a careful study of the monetary systems OF
the old world, and when he returned to
New York he had acquired valuable fund
OF information.
From 1880, when he returned from
Europe, up to the time that he was called
to Washington as Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury, Mr.. FAIRCHILD was engaged
in the practice of his profession in New
York city.
There will be much criticism pro and
COO, on the Presidents choice. Some will
object to him because he is a New Yorker,
the Treasury Department having been con-
trolled by New Workers for many years.
Others will think that some strong party
man of national reputation, such as. CAR
Isle, should have been chosen. As a
party measure, this would perhaps have
been desirable. But it would have made a
change in the policy of the Treasury. This
the Administration does not desire, as the
term is drawing toward close. Nor ia it
likely that any change of policy would
secure greater efficiency in the Treasury
management
